| String |
A string that is the formula contained in the cells of the table column.

Use the Formula property to automatically fill the formula in all cells of the table column. To specify an array formula for the table column, use the TableColumn.ArrayFormula property.
This example demonstrates how to create a table from a range of cells. The sample range includes a list of products and invoice information on each product: price, quantity and discount.
The resulting table will provide an additional column to calculate the amount per product, and an additional row to show the total amount. Follow the steps below:
Create a Table
Format the Table
Table Columns
Table Header Row
Calculated Column
Table Total Row
Total Row Function
